We had such an incredible time at Firefly Haus. We booked to celebrate our dad’s birthday and there were 10 of us staying. Plenty of room, the views were incredible and we made plenty of memories along the way! The drive into downtown Gatlinburg wasn’t bad at all. Definitely some caution driving up the winding mountain roads, but over all it was a beautiful place to stay! Would definitely stay again. Matt was very responsive and we had great communication the entire time. Firefly Haus is certainly a gem.

Hosts are 12/10. Amazing communication Lots of care taken to make sure the home has everything you need and feels like a home away from home. The view will make you gasp when you see it for the first time while entering the home. The pictures do not convey the view vs seeing in person. Super quiet during our stay and was surprisingly free of noise pollution from Gatlinburg which is very close. Not sure you can find a better property if you're looking for privacy, view, and a do it all rental home. Definitely take the bear proofing recommendations. We saw bears multiple times everyday. We will return.

This is a beautiful home with unbelievable views of the mountains. The host was in contact with us every step of the way for an easy check in, stay, and check out. The house is situated far from the road with a large private lot. If you are looking for the total Smokey Mountain experience this is the place to stay.

Awesome Experience!

We had a wonderful stay at the Firefly Haus! Check in was easy, owners were super helpful, house was very spacious and clean. We loved that every bedroom had its own bathroom, and there were even two extra bathrooms. Hot tub was great, as well as the fire pit. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Fufilled a much needed getaway

Beautiful property! We packed a lot, but other than the food we brought, everything was there that we needed. The view was as advertised. It was nice waking up with my wife in the treehouse room every morning and having coffee on the deck.

Perfect House in the Mountains

We selected this house for a bachelorette party and it could not have been more prefect. The house is just as beautiful as the surrounding mountains. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully stocked, plenty of parking, I could go on and on. This was such a fun weekend!

Firefly Haus was the perfect setting for our family to celebrate our son’s graduation! It is an amazing house- beautifully designed and decorated! The views were spectacular and location was secluded, but still close to everything. Matt and Laura were the best hosts, communicating at every step. We had everything we needed.

Vacation with our Moms

Firefly Haus was perfect for our elderly Moms. They each had their own bedrooms/bathrooms on the main floor. The home was beautiful and clean. Even tho it rained, we could see the mountains outside the huge windows. I will recommend this home to anyone visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Anniversary Trip

We loved the cabin and all of the amenities. It had everything we needed from cooking to entertainment. My only suggestion would be possibly adding a reflective window tint to the windows in the main room. The sun would shine in where the future was and it heated the room up a good bit. Would definitely stay here again!!

Thank you Matt & Laura! Great house & location. Awesome view! This trip was a few old friends catching up for a few days. We rented more house than we needed in order to get the amenities we desired. Firefly Haus delivered it all. Enjoyed cooking meals together in the beautiful & excellently stocked kitchen. Stunning views from every room. Very unique experience to start a fire in the fire pit, then sit in the hot tub & watch it burn with that beautiful mountain view in the background. This place is true luxury in every space at a reasonable price. Hope to be back soon.

Amazing!

We had an amazing stay at the Firefly Haus. The house and views from the house were amazing! We could not have asked for a better family friendly home. The drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge were short car rides. My favorite part was being able to sit at the kitchen table and see the beautiful mountain views every day! Communications with Matt and Laura were extremetly efficient and responsive. Will definitely stay again!

Words will not suffice

Firefly Haus is incomparable to any vacation home I’ve stayed in. It’s the most thoughtfully setup house I’ve been in. Very clean, well stocked and close to downtown. The views of the mountains is breathtaking!! Not close to any neighbors, so peaceful. I would recommend you visit the Smokies just so you can stay at Firefly Haus!!! If I could give it a 10 on 5 rating I would!!!

Best vacation ever!

Gatlinburg is such a great place but the firefly haus was the cherry on top! This home is the most well thought out house we’ve stayed in yet! Every aspect was well thought from the private balcony off each room, to the amazing bathrooms, the fun downstairs room, and the incredible views. It truly made our experience 10/10! With a large party it was able to fit us all with ease and made so many amazing memories! We look forward to coming back and staying in the Firefly Haus again in the future! 10/10 recommend!
